P'taah's Message About "Accidents"

Extract from the P'taah Newsletter March 2009 in Question and Answer format. Q: Some people I've talked with do not understand, and I am going to include myself in this, how they create their misfortunes. Not knowing how they created it has created more fears about what they could unintentionally create. In other words, how did somebody create something that she wasn't focusing on, like for instance, a car accident? She wasn't focusing on this or putting her energy into this. P'taah: You know, beloved, all of this comes back to the idea that to have the accident was a bad thing. You see? If you come from the premise that everything is perfect, then no matter what it is or how you create it or from where you create it, always it is an opportunity to come to know more. And you could say that the pointer is in, 'What is the reaction?' Q: That's the pointer? P'taah: Indeed. An 'accident'. There is no such thing as an 'accident'. So you have created a circumstance and that circumstance creates a different paradigm from the one that existed before you had this incident. Q: Right. P'taah: And in this new paradigm called 'after the accident', what then is the reaction? How are you in this situation? What does it force you to do? What is it that you are unable to do? And what is the gift? In other words, everything is a gift, one way or another. So find the gift. Is it that you have the opportunity to look at a belief structure? Is it that you have created an opportunity to stop and to be still, to look inside instead of always outside? Is it a situation where you are required to rely on somebody else to serve you rather than for you to always do the serving? You understand? And it does not have to be something dire. It does not have to be so serious. Q: Okay. So, even a little annoyance -- for instance, I got a spoon stuck in my garbage disposal the other day -- even something like that, if I can look at it and I can see that I created it for a purpose and then sit down and figure out what is it that I am trying to show myself. P'taah: What is the gift? What does this story lead me to emotionally? What does it lead me to, in a way, that gives me a broader understanding of myself. Q: Okay, and so that's how you honor the hidden and buried away beliefs, by asking those questions. P'taah: Absolutely, to look at the reaction to whatever the situation is. And by the emotional reactions, or by even the circumstance that we have beforetime stated, you can come to see something about yourself that perhaps you were not previously aware of. You see, even to look at something like this, you cannot ever know in your human state all of the answers. And it is necessary also for you, all of you, to learn to allow the mystery. Only to be centered in how you are being, never mind the outside story. We give you an example, beloved. Let us take the situation of spoon in garbage disposal machinery. Q: Yes. P'taah: Let us say that before this occurred you were to rush from your house to do some business and because of this situation you were not able to rush away. Now, let us step well back from the situation and look at these possibilities. One is to get into your vehicle and to rush off to your business appointment and in doing so, you would have been involved in some kind of, let us say, situation in the traffic that would not at all have been pleasant for you. And because you stayed to deal with the situation in your kitchen you created a smooth passage for that appointment that you went to a little later than you had planned and so everything is perfect. You understand? Q: Yes, I do. P'taah: So you can never, any of you, see around all of the corners to know what is occurring in the bigger picture. You can only have the knowing that everything that occurs is for your benefit, if you can allow it, if you can remind yourself that everything is perfect, always. Everything exists so that you may come to know the miracle that you are, so that you may come to know your connectedness with the All-That-Is and that you are indeed the All-That-Is playing this game called life. There is nothing that could be anything but perfect in the broader truth of it. Q: Right, thank you, P'taah. P'taah: And all of you are very busy trying to make sense of something that will never make sense, in a way. Q: Is that going back to the mystery? P'taah: Indeed!
